Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

  • Garena Limiting Number of LGBT League of Legends Players to One Per Team Due to 'Unfair Advantages'

    Garena, the group that runs and operates League of Legends in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and the Philippines is hosting an all-women eSports tournament! That's the good news. The bad news is that they are putting a limit on the number of LGBT people allowed per team. That number? One. One person, and one person only per team is allowed to be a lesbian or a trans woman.

  • 343 Delays Content Update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Re-Evaluates Need for Beta Testing

    Due to the still ongoing issues plaguing Halo: The Master Chief Collection, 343 Industries has decided to postpone the next content update for the game. This also means that the patch associated with it needs some "additional time and testing" prior to being released.

    This patch is supposed to include fixes for matchmaking search times, match search successes, improve lobby functionality, hit registration, matchmaking ranking, and more. Oddly enough, the studio is also rethinking...

  • Treyarch Teasing New Zombies Reveal at DICE

    Treyarch Teasing New Zombies Reveal at DICE

    On Wednesday, Treyarch will make some sort of a reveal concerning zombies during their DICE presentation. Treyarch is the studio working on this year's Call of Duty title, so it should probably come as no surprise that there will probably be a zombie game mode included.

    Then again, it is entirely possible that this will be an entirely separate game. Hell, it might even be the entire premise for the next Call of Duty game. Who knows at this point!
